The Killing Man (Isis Series/5 Audio Cassettes)

Rating:
Summary: Average Hammer.
Review: I'm not sure if this book was written before or after Spillane became a Jehovah's Witness, but this book seems a bit toned down. Violence is still here, but the sex is all but gone. This book is pretty good though. There were various bits I liked about this book. Very hard-boiled. The mystery is still intriguing, but it's the cheap way that our detective solves the mystery in the last chapter that flaws this book.

Review: The first and only (so far) that I've read from this author. To be honest I found it a little boring and predictable. It was ok to pass time by the pool his summer.

Summary: Good entry in a steady series
Review: This was the second Mike Hammer book I picked up (the first being "Kiss Me, Deadly"), and it got me hooked into the series. Spillane's classic descriptions of New York and great lines are all present. Like most Hammer books, the ending seems to come too abruptly, but that is my only complaint. A lesser book than "I, the Jury" and "My Gun is Quick", it is still a strong entry.
